Pursuit of life along with health and relative youthfulness (only in such circumstances, it can be enjoyed) has been an ongoing Chinese concern for thousands of years. Tremendous wisdom and good, practical methods, applied, have been developed that this review of "The Mystery of life" (1996) Liu, Zhengcai. Beijing foreign languages Press (3rd Edition), try to make it clear.
A compendium (191 pp Pocket) healthy, traditional, tried and tested Chinese advice on life, significantly, aims to Demystify and treat this in the daily experience of China, the world's most populous nation (with more than 25% of the world's population). The author is adamant that the longevity secrets cannot be detected in some laboratory but rather is already present and known for many centuries, but not at all.
Is the author's first have recourse to external authority '' Yellow Emperor's classic of internal medicine "/" huang Ti nei jing "attributable to the former activities of some 4,700 years ago from whence his call to follow Yin and Yang and five Elements theory balanced manner is derived. Four sections describe various, interconnected way to achieve this, as follows.
Contemporary sources of Centenerians
The Chinese are known to have invented the story! SSU Ma Chien ' records of the Grand Historian "(93 CE) in 103 volumes is a still extant evidence of this. Chinese centenarians are known as old, often to the Imperial presence to explain how this commendable performance was achieved, with written principle are made and disseminated to encourage others! Examples of such accounts and the related comments of scientists and officials are grouped in key categories that specify the "methods". Examples of modern Chinese Centenerians (Urban and Rural), and then follow in a similar manner.
Chinese body-building
Never be confused with its Western equivalent, this is intended rather to build and strengthen internal, core and skeletal muscle and the five most important muscular organs (lungs, kidneys, liver, heart and spleen) by well-known exercise routines, many more than 1,000 years old, suitable for all ages, some nifty resumes, along with line drawings, provide more than adequate practical instructions for some of the first performed therapeutic procedures e.g. "Eight pieces of Brocade" and "yi Yin jing".
Traditional Chinese medicine and food therapy
Varies (again) from the Western provision and successfully curing more people more things longer than other known systems, without unexpected side effects (Chinese Bodybuilding record is equally enviable) shared natural grounds, these two complementary categories overlap. "Chinese life preserve wine"/"Yang Sheng Jui" (p. 156), and "Lean pork steamed with Sealwort '' (p. 160) remedy arthritis/impotence and gastritis/födans heart diseases, each re-render experience a mouth-watering prospect. Internet searches that reveal "materia medica" growing wholesale imports to the West!
Treatment methods for typical old age diseases and complaints based on the previous categories.
By now grows old, does not seem so bad! The last section corrective actions include combine pleasant exercise, nutritious food, natural herbal food supplements and the right attitude (regardless of age). Why has this positive, healthy bias complemented by judicious use of massage therapy from "Common cold" (p. 166) to "Gastritis" (p. 176) and subsequently and acupuncture as the case may be--all declared via an easily understandable logic.
Conclusions.
This is not instant results! However, regular, almost imperceptible change for the better, after gradually recognizeable disciplined adherence to recommended regimes, is listed as the most common of the results. Without doubt, naturalistic, holistic nature of the book's recommendations and the increasing ease with which these can be integrated into the modern lifestyle, in varied the courage, the (and similar others) growing future popularity.
